Abstract
One embodiment of the invention provides a video coding apparatus including an intraprediction section that generates prediction signals by plural intraprediction modes, an interprediction section that generates prediction signals by plural interprediction modes, and a first determination section that selects a first prediction mode to select a prediction signal by the first prediction mode from among the prediction signals by the plural intraprediction modes and the plural interprediction modes. The first determination section includes a second determination section that selects a second prediction mode from among the plural interprediction modes, a candidate limiting section that selects at least one of the plural intraprediction modes based on the second prediction mode, a third determination section that selects a third prediction mode from among the at least one of the plural intraprediction modes and a fourth determination section that selects the first prediction mode from among the second and third prediction modes.
